Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

The biggest problem with lunges is that as you fatigue during your workout your form gets sloppy. When you get sloppy you get unbalanced. When you are unbalanced.. you over-extend or you offset your weight. Putting all of your weight on -one- knee is an accident waiting to happen. If you shift slightly and bend your knee in the wrong place you can tear tissue.


I'm not sure who came up with the idea behind lunges because it's not a normal every day movement. Kneel to pick something up, sure. But how often do you extend your leg out, put all your weight on it, then push back?

If you want the best leg workout in a solid motion go Squat > toe lift > squat > toe lift > repeat desired amount. Always break your routine up into sets to get the best results if you can. For me I do 3 x 8 squats and lifts with weight. Rest for 2 min.s in between each set. If you're just starting out and doing unweighted then practice your form and go 3 x 12. If you can do x12 then you need to start adding weight.

... and I seems to have started lecture mode. My bad!

It's predominantly the hip flexor being worked with lunges. Squats will increase your leg strength and lower back/core strength if done correctly, lunges will improve your balance, alleviate any weaknesses in either leg (having one leg slightly stronger than the other) and improve your stability.

On the topic of fitness. I need to start doing crutches/situps again. I'm getting a belly and just eww.

Looks like they're finally editing this... I'm excited as hell!

This is sort of true. Lunges help with your balance because you lock your core when you extend. Squats also lock your core when done right leading to near the same amount of balance training.

Skaters are better balance training then lunges and more fun!


Crunches won't help with that. you'll build the muscle under the layer of fat and it will make your stomach look bigger. Over all diet and increasing your activity is the best way to getting rid of the gut.

is it wrong of, packing a lunch for work one day before, and eating it 2 hrs into work?

That just means you should pack 2 lunches Misao.

I'm trying to reduce my body fat too, the hardest part is not eating sugar >_> it's like my kryptonite I see it and go weak <_<
